ABOUT SILLY BANDZ

Not since the Beanie Babies of the'90s has a children's entertainment trend taken the world by such force. Silly Bandz created its $100 million toy empire through the sale of small rubber pieces of collectible jewelry. Silly Bandz, which hold their shape when not in use, come in a variety of shapes, which include basic shapes, as well as holidays, seasons, animals, music, fantasy, sports and licensed shapes. Silly Bandz has the perfect band to meet any one person's unique personality. They have been traded, sold and gift wrapped as something for everyone including, but not limited to, ponytail holders, bookmarks and most notably, jewelry. Even celebrities have joined the legions of adoring fans. This simple, yet creative idea has captured the hearts of people of all ages.
